Even if you consider yourself reasonably computer literate, there are some areas of computing that may be beyond your capabilities. Although the Windows operating system enables you to safely optimise certain areas of it, you may not be ready to manually tweak Windows by editing the Registry. The safest option would be to use an application specifically deigned for optimising or tweaking Windows, which prevents you from accidentally creating any unwanted and potentially problematic Registry entries.  

Fresh UI 8.17 is a free tool for optimising Windows. Use it to configure your operating system to your personal preference with minimal risk. There's no need to manually edit your registry, so there's no risk of potentially interfering with or damaging key areas of your operating system.
